In this paper, the estimation of ship fuel consumption is computed for different weather conditions along the ship route. The propeller is first optimized for calm water conditions …
This paper presents a comparison between different types of propellers operated in calm water to evaluate their performance behind hulls and in open-water conditions. A bulk …
This study presents a practical optimization procedure that couples the NavCad power prediction tool and a nonlinear optimizer integrated into the Matlab environment. This …
A propeller optimization procedure is developed by coupling a propeller design tool with a nonlinear optimizer. An optimized propeller contributes toward maritime decarbonization …
This paper presents the effect of a propeller cup on the propeller cavitation and the fuel consumption of a bulk carrier in both calm water and different weather conditions towards …
This paper presents the effect of hull roughness over 10 years of operation on ship performance. The numerical model is developed by coupling NavCad and Matlab to perform …
An optimization tool is developed to simulate the performance of a marine propulsion system of a fishing trawler for ship conceptual design. It consists of two modules implemented in …
This paper presents the effect of selecting a contra-rotating propeller (CRP) for a bulk carrier at the engine operating point with minimum fuel consumption, as well as ensuring the safety …
Propeller design diagrams, like Bp-δ diagram, are widely applied in ship propeller design. However, different propeller series use various selection approaches, so comparisons …
